篇6：托福写作高级词汇

当我们在学习英语的时候，总是在听说一些传说中的“高级词”，而且感觉只要用上了这些高级词，我们的作文分数就立即如孙悟空一样飞升了起来，但是到底什么是高级词?只要用了“高级词”，我们作文分数就一定有大幅的提升么?其实很简单，我们看一下从小就学过的《背影》中的两段名句“他用两手攀着上面，两脚再向上缩;他肥胖的身子向左微倾，显出努力的样子。”，还有“等他的背影混入来来往往的人里，再找不着了，我便进来坐下，我的眼泪又来了。”这里面哪些表达方法比较高级呢?显然是没有的，但是这并没有阻止这些句子成为名句。

反过来，用一些貌似很文雅的词，分数自然就高了么?比如说“我哥们的爸爸，昨晚驾崩了”很显然，你只会喷饭。也许各位考友会觉得这个很可笑，但是实际上我们很多考友的作文，在地道的英美人看来，写的就是这样的。比如说They wear raunchy clothes because they don’t know how to iron them; they spend a lot of money eating outside because they can’t cook; they live in a messy room because they never learn to organize it.这就是摘取自一篇20分的作文的词句。这里面的“raunchy”这个词，作者想用的是“邋遢的”这个含义，但是实际上这个词最常用的意思是“淫秽的”…….

我们很多考友都非常喜欢在写作文的时候，使用“有道”或者“金山”里面查出来的单词，但是查出来之后，我们又不对于这些单词进行进一步的查询，来弄清其的内涵和外延，就是会出现这样的事情!当然这只是可能之一，还有另外一个可能就是，我们很多考友还要准备SAT或者GRE考试，在准备这些考试的时候，自然无法避免的要背一些比较生僻的单词，我们自觉不自觉地，就会将这些单词用到我们的作文之中，殊不知这些单词，我们对于其意思的理解并不准确，因此在用这些单词的时候，我们很有可能就会出现上面的情况!因此，在写作文用词的时候，想用也可以，一定要多查查例句!看看例句里大多是怎么用的!

这是一些比较生僻的词汇，但还有一些词汇则是我们的单词书本来翻译的就不够到位的!我们应该还有印象，就是我们高中和大学的英语老师总是让我们用英英词典，而不是用英汉词典，就是这个原因!比如说我们很常见的remove这个单词，我们总认为他的意思是“搬走”的意思，但是实际上，他的应该是“移除，完全消失”的意思!而不是从一个地方移动到另外一个地方!

当看到这里的时候，也许很多考友都疑惑了，如果不用这些高级词，那我们还用什么呢?其实很简单，好的作文，关键是要用词准确到位!而且最好能地道!那就更完美了!比如说，你在班级里学习学的很好，固然可以写did well in my class,但是也可以写confirm the leading position!因为单纯的well，很宽泛，到底什么算是好呢?第一名?第五名?还是第15名?但是如果你写出来confirm the leading position就表明你很有可能是在前3名，这就很准确了!这是用词准确!

再就是用词地道，这就好比跟东北人说：他对象长的老棵碜了。跟广东人说：你真系风吹皇帝裤浪!跟上海人说：阿拉夜饭吃格是油焖落苏。这就是地道!在英语里地道的表达，也自然是会受到好评的。比如说When it comes to boxing, Chandelier is an expert.这里的comes to…..就不是“去哪里”而是“谈论到，谈及……”的意思。这就是英语里的地道的表达!

很显然，作文提升的前提，应该是我们的欣赏能力达到了很高的境界之后，才是有可能的!当我们都欣赏不了，或者说当我们都不知道哪些是地道和准确的表达的时候，我们又怎能很好地运用这些辞藻呢?

看腻了托福写作“高级替换词”，来试试这些独特表达

in abeyance

电影或其他政策性事务延期的情况，除了put off 和 pos官方真题Officialne 等常用表达外，还可以用到 in abeyance。

4.Anyconstruction generating noise during the College Entrance Examination periodshould be lain in abeyance.

leave sb. holding the bag/baby

看过霍比特人3的小伙伴们都知道，一开始，矮人王索林被沾染了恶龙邪气的金币所迷惑，拒绝参战，把战斗的责任留给了他的表兄以及精灵和人类。把重大责任推卸给别人，我们可以用leave sb. holding the baby，美语中也可以说leave sb. holding the bag

1.Whenthe stock market fluctuates, only the private shareholders are left holding the bag.

当股市震荡时，往往是个人投资者承担损失。

替罪羊指的就是那些被动承担责任的人。

bring / call into play

五军之战战事一触即发，必须充分利用各军之力，才能获得最后的胜利。童鞋们要表达利用，首先想到的是take advantage of，make use of等，试试bring into play，也可以说call into play:

1.Notonly the legislation system but the public awareness should be called into play in terms of environment protection.

就环境保护而言，我们需要利用的不仅是立法体系，还有公众意识。

2.Tosucceed in study, interest, a prominent source of concentration, shall be brought into play.

road to Damascus

插个《圣经》故事，据说一名基督徒的迫害者保罗在从耶路撒冷到大马士革(罗马帝国叙利亚省会)抓捕基督徒的路上突然被击倒，眼睛因受比太阳更强的光刺激而暂时失明。此时他听到了上帝的召唤，于是皈依基督。由此，road to Damascus被用来描述(观点或信仰的)翻然改变:

1.It has been a road to Damascus moment for the contemporary world, which hassuffered enough from fierce competition, lack of natural resources, and seriousenvironment pollutions.

现代社会饱受竞争激烈、资源匮乏和污染严重的桎梏，已到了不得不改变的关头。

他在高考中的失利成为了他人生的转折点。

4.Everyone would meet his road to Damascus moment when some vital decision has to be made.

每个人都会遇到需要做出重大决定的时期，这就是他人生的转折点。

it is / these are early days

看了五军之战的童鞋们都知道，恶龙史矛革被射死以后故事就结束了吗?显然言之尚早哦!为了分得自己的那杯羹，人类和精灵向矮人族宣战了。言之过早，我们说 it is early days或者these are early days，结果嘛，显然跟预想的不大一样哦：

1.Although it’s early days yet, the smooth process before the cooperation between the two nations has cheered up the public.

虽然现在一切还言之尚早，但两国合作的前期事宜进展顺利，使两国人民都振奋不少。

2.Whether it’s early days or not, the government should not wait till it’s too late toprotect the environment.

4.Peopleare born equal, but whoever makes a big difference in the later days starts when it’s early time.

人生来平等，但任何在未来不同寻常的人都在一切尚未定论时就开始努力了。

face the music

face the music，面对音乐吗?显然不是，这是个面褒实贬的表达，表示接受批评或惩罚。比如左边的白袍巫师萨如曼，在指环王三部曲中就是个不折不扣的应该face the music的主儿。

1.Responsible leaders will not leave his team members facing the music.

有责任的领导是不会扔下他的队员独自承受惩罚的。

4.Most Chinese pupils have to face the music every time after exam, simply becausethey fall out of the top ten.

大部分中国孩子在每次考试后都要面对惩罚，原因仅仅是他们没有考到前十名。

gain ground

弓箭手巴德绝对是人类中的佼佼者，他凭借出色的箭法射杀了巨龙史矛革，同时，他在长湖镇人民的心中也成功地gain ground。我们用gainground来描述更强大，更有效或更成功:

1. The number of people in pursuit of material life has gained ground with increasing momentum.

现下追求物质生活的人越来越多。

2.With foreign brands gaining ground in the Chinese market, in better quality butlower price, the local manufacturers have to reform to survive the international competition.

4.When electronic books have gained ground in publishing, paper books seem to havelost its status.

当电子书籍在出版业中获得成功后，纸质书似乎已经失去了其地位。

hackles rise

光看字面：颈毛竖起来，这是动物愤怒的表征。用在人身上，也便是极度愤怒的意思了。拥有众多女粉丝的精灵王瑟兰迪尔，比儿子颜值更高，哪怕hackles rise，应该也是倾倒众生吧:

1. After Malaysia Airline made contradictory claims concerning the missing of MH370, therelatives of the passengers felt their hackles rise.

在听了马航针对MH370的失踪做出的前后矛盾的陈述后，机上乘客的亲属们愤怒了。

4.According to a recent medical report, those who have their hackles rise frequently tendto suffer from cancer more.

最近的一项医学报告指出，经常性愤怒的人更易得癌症。

cut no ice

我们伟大的灰袍巫师甘道夫是正义力量最坚实可靠的朋友。甚至乎，我们以为，无论发生什么事，甘道夫都可以轻松搞定。可惜，在强大的暗黑力量面前，甘道夫那点魔法没有丝毫作用，cut no ice with the dark power:

1.Distractions,such as TV and computer, cut on ice with the students who are wholly devoted tostudy.

诸如电视、电脑等分散注意力的事物，对于专注于学习的学生而言却是毫无影响可言。

2.Evidencehas proven current approaches to environment protection have cut on ice.

事实证明当前环境保护的举措没有起到任何作用。

3.Teaching is characteristic, and even the most widely adopted education method may cut no ice with certain amount of students.

4.It’s without scientific vision to deny the importance of the cure, which temporarily cuts no ice with the patients.

急于否定那些暂时没有对病灶起效的治疗方法是缺乏科研眼光的做法。

jam tomorrow

美丽的精灵护卫队长塔瑞尔爱上了矮人奇力，显然，精灵和矮人的爱情，只能是可望不可及的美梦而已。我们用 jam tomorrow 来描述这种眼高手低的“美好”:

1.Datingback to the old times when the public were frequently fooled by them anipulation of policies, voters nowadays are thus less convinced of the jam tomorrow political candidates create.

过往民众不断被政策操纵者所摆布，所以今天的选民们不再轻信候选人描绘的灿烂明天。

正确答案

BFH

题目解析

原句翻译：A G 的小说引人入胜主要因为她独特的写作风格。它偏重对话(较少修饰)多为快节奏的短小段落(通常只有几句话)，总体上直截了当。并不奇怪的是，这种风格更适合短篇小说而非长篇小说，而她在(短篇)故事《 I Wish Someone Were Waiting for Me Somewhere 》中表现出的这种风格明显强于长篇小说，比如《 Someone I Loved 》。

词汇含义

第一空主要用排除法，根据 appealing 排除 annoying，根据 rapid / directeness 排除 convoluted。

后两空的判断都在第三句内，这种风格 works better in short-stories，而由句尾可知 Someone I Loved 是一本 novel，关系就清楚了，代入选项即可。

succession 连续(交替)，一连串事物，一系列，(王位、头衔或财产等的)继承权(资格排序)。在本句中意译为节奏。
